As first hinted at earlier this week in Willamette Week, the Portland Tribune has now confirmed that the Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network plans to probe the January 29 shooting of Aaron Campbell.
The request came during a broadcast of Sharpton’s “Keeping it Real” radio show.
“We are not satisfied and do not accept the grand jury’s decision of an acquittal,” said Ruth Pitts-London, National Action Network Oregon chapter president. “It is apparent the district attorney’s investigation is lax on justice as is the grand jury.”
“Change in policies should have been implemented long prior to the murder of Mr. Campbell Douglass,” said the Rev. DeVes Toon, the association’s national field director.

Seriously…kill the anonymous comments option. At the very least Mr. Racist up top will be easily identifiable.
Honestly, it looks like the FIRE MATT DAVIS guy. 3 and 5 minutes later someone spewed hate on the next thread down: http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/Co…
Only the regulars troll the Mercury at midnight on a Saturday and he is the only anon regular with that kind of hate.
Huh, and then we got the “posts off topic links without an explanation” guy. What is he doing here anyways?

“Matthew”-
Go F yourself you pos!
And “Ckeller”- Where were you this monring? You big pussy!
Looks like I was right. 🙂
ever hear of tl;dr by chance?
I’m a big fan of Rev. Al’s radio show, but local transmission on KBMS 1480 leaves a lot to be desired (perhaps the only radio station w/o a web site?). Perhaps you aren’t regular listeners. It’s the default position as petitioners call in for various sorts of vengeance that the “House of Justice” will investigate. Follow through, I think, is somewhat like the signal, wavering and sometimes just not there at all.
wow censored while speaking out against racism…
